Residents turn out in droves to oppose turbines

Newly-elected representative Doreen Costa was one of a slew of local residents on hand at North Kingstown High School Tuesday night as the North Kingstown Planning Board continued discussions on a proposed 427-foot wind turbine set to be located at Stamp Farm.
Costa, who pledged to fight the turbine, cited a dozen concerns with the proposal at hand, from safety issues to potential property value losses and everything in between.
The meeting which lasted well over three-and-a-half hours will be covered in great detail in this week's Standard Times. Pick up a copy this Thursday on newsstands everywhere.
